A McMinnville man was injured late Monday afternoon near Smyrna Cemetery on Myers Cove Road.
According to Trooper Ben Cannon of the Tennessee Highway Patrol at around 4:20pm Monday witnesses told him that they found 35 year old Michael Brandon Moore of McMinnville lying near the road with severe road rash and lacerations. It appeared that Moore was struck and left injured. Witnesses say just before finding Moore they saw a dark color Sedan car. The vehicle’s make and model was not determined. Moore’s clothing was sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for analysis. Cannon said Moore did not appear to have any boken bones but he was airlifted to Erlanger Hospital. The Highway Patrol is trying to determine if Moore was pushed or thrown from the car.
In addition to THP, also responding was the Critical Incident Response Team and Criminal Investigation Division.
